    Abstract: A system of selecting charging modes for a rechargeable energy storage unit in an autonomous device includes a controller having a processor and tangible, non-transitory memory on which is recorded instructions. The controller is configured to determine availability of at least one charging station and at least one parking lot through a survey of local charging infrastructure and local parking infrastructure, respectively, within a predefined radius of the autonomous device. The controller is configured to determine if it is cost-effective during an excursion to incur a charging fee at the charging station or incur a parking fee at the parking lot. If it is cost-effective to incur the charging fee, then the controller is configured to selectively employ at least one of a plurality of charging modes, including an open-ended charging mode and a defined departure charging mode.

    Abstract: Disclosed are control algorithms and system architectures for arbitrating vehicle charging, e.g., for electric vehicles with rechargeable battery packs, wired and wireless charging capabilities, and control logic for governing such charging. A method is disclosed for managing charging of electrical storage units of motor vehicles at vehicle charging stations. The method includes determining if a wireless charging interface of the motor vehicle is available for wireless power transfer, and determining whether or not the vehicle charging station has an electrical connector coupled to a wired charging interface of the motor vehicle. Responsive to the charging station having an electrical connector coupled to the wired charging interface, the method initiates a wired (conductive) charge power mode. Conversely, if the wireless charging interface is available for power transfer and an electrical connector is not coupled to the wired charging interface, the method responsively initiates a wireless (inductive) charge power mode.

    Abstract: A method and system for use in performing a real-time charge session swap between a primary electric vehicle located at a charging station of an electric vehicle charging facility and a secondary electric vehicle located at the electric vehicle charging facility, comprising the steps of: (a) receiving via a mobile wireless device a request for an electric vehicle charge session swap; (b) receiving one or more charge priority metrics from the secondary electric vehicle indicating a level of need for charging of the secondary electric vehicle; (c) providing an acceptance of the request for the electric vehicle charge session swap based on an evaluation of the charge priority metrics; and (d) notifying the secondary electric vehicle of the acceptance, thereby communicating the availability of the charging station for use by the secondary electric vehicle to carry out the electric vehicle charge session swap.
